Growing Numbers of Women at FOO Camp

Caveats: I counted by skimming over the photos taken at the
door; it's entirely possible that not everyone stopped to get their
photo taken.

Count:Women: 46Men: 225

Women at FOO Camp: 16.97%

Though this clearly still a minority, this number represents a great
improvement over past years, and over other tech conferences that hover
in the 5 - 10% range. Kudos to the FOOrganizers for making a proactive
effort to broaden diversity.
